Located in the heart of downtown Boston, Old South Meeting House is a busy museum, a treasured National Historic Landmark, and an active center for civic dialogue and free expression. Since it was built in 1729, the Meeting House has been a gathering place for debate, discussion, revolution, and celebration. The largest building in colonial Boston, Old South Meeting House was the site for the largest mass meetings that challenged British rule in the days leading to the American Revolution—including protests of the Boston Massacre and the meetings that led to the Boston Tea Party.
